Introduction

Amphibian populations worldwide are in the midst of a mass extinction crisis, yet most people are completely unaware. Further, few students receive any amphibian extinction education in their schools. The SAVE THE FROGS! Essay Contest is designed to give teachers an easy way to get their students involved and interested in amphibian conservation...though you don't have to be a student to enter!

We invite teachers, students and anyone else to submit 250-300 words of their finest frog literature.

Who can enter?

Anybody! We encourage students and teachers to get their writing classes involved on Save The Frogs Day - April 30th, 2010. We encourage amateur and professional writers to take part as well. And the more countries represented the better! Did we mention that it is indeed FREE to enter the contest.
